Job Overview
Are you the kind of leader who thrives in times of growth and change? If so, Georgian Animal Hospital may be exactly where you belong.

We’re a busy, evolving clinic preparing for a well-deserved facelift to match the energy and dedication of our team. Our client base continues to grow, and with that comes both exciting opportunity and the occasional challenge. That’s where you come in.

Our ideal candidate is a grounded, steady professional who knows how to bring people together, create structure through transition, and inspire confidence along the way. You’ve likely led a team before. You have celebrated the wins, learned from the tough days, and figured out what really matters. You know how to read a room, when to listen, and how to guide others to discover their best work.

You’re not here to simply manage. You’re here to mentor, motivate, and help a passionate, independent-minded group move forward together.

And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll have the backing of a network of experienced practice leaders—people who understand the day-to-day realities of veterinary life. Whether you need a sounding board, a dose of encouragement, or a place to share wins and lessons learned, you’ll have that built-in community behind you.

We’re committed to growth, authenticity, and teamwork. If you’re someone who can navigate the beautiful chaos of a veterinary clinic with patience, humor, and heart, we’d love to meet you.
